Durbin and 39 Democrat Senators Move to ‘Repeal the First Amendment’ [video]

U.S. Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL)

Speaking at a Family Research Council event last Thursday, Senator Ted Cruz informed the attendees that Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), 39 other Democrats and Independent are engaging in an attempt to “repeal the First Amendment.” Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) is the original sponsor of Senate Joint Resolution 19, which proposes to suspend key portions of the Bill of Rights.

“I’m not making this up,” Cruz told the shocked gathering. “Senator Chuck Schumer has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the plenary power, the unlimited authority, to regulate political speech.”
